HFaust,, and ssMarg uerite.,,

/ think l never have told you,
Dolly, that | regard amateur theatre
Gals as the serpent in the paradise of
home life to-day, but l am going to
write you about something much
pleasanter and much more interesting
that is, Ellen Terry and Henry Irv-
ing. They are here. They are more
fascinating than ever, and am sure
that everybody is going to want to see
Faust" and that everybody is going
to feel as l do, for l will be willing to
pawn my best red slippers but what
[ will get there. 1t is curious
how that story of Faust keeps its
hold on the world year in and
year out. My dear, it is because it is
the story OF humanity, it is the story
OF the tempter and the tempted, OF the
sinner and the repentant. 1t is the
story of love and suffering and of
death; it is the story of life. And be-
cause Miss Terry is verv human, be-
cause Miss Terry is very witching and
womanly, ] am sure her Marguerite"
is going to be the nearest to the real
one of anybody else who has ever
written; | mean the real one who
lived and died years ago, and who has
lived and d ed every year since.
Marguerite" is not of to-day; she
is forever. "Mephisto," the spirit OF
evil, has always been to-day he takes
one form, tomorrow another, but he
is always there to offer to Faust
that which seems most desirable to
him. to give to a woman that which
10 her is the dearest in all the world
the love of man. This story acted
by these two people-these people
who comprehend the meaning OF the
story, who are the best de-
lineators of it, and who to-day know
how to make an audience feel that
which they are telling them-will, |
am sure, go down upon the book OF
time, and be remembered when the
story writer is forgotten and the pain
ter's coIors have faded away. | al
ways did take Faust very much to
heart, Dolly. 1 think the humanity
that is real does affect me that way,
but am sure that l will pay more
attention to It now, and study it all
out better than l have before, because
it is to be portrayed by the master
artists.-[N. Y. Sun.

CHIN Sc DREAD OF THE WET
They Wear Cloth shoes and Al
ways Go i'm when 1t Rains.


In Western lands it is proverbial
saying of one who is peculiarly stupid
that he does not "know enough to 60
in when it rains" In China, on the
contrary, the saying would be altered
so as to read: HE does not know
enough to stay in when it rains" and
to Chinese the idea that a human
being has any functions which can
be harmonized with the rapid precipi-
tation OF moisture can only be intro
duced by trepanning. They truly say
of the streets and the people in them !:
when wind blows, one half; rain
fall, none at all"
As the Chinese, in their way, are u
particularly practical people-not less
so than the Anglo-Saxon, though less
energetic-there must be some good
reason for their persistent refusal for
centuries to encounter rain. OF the
fact there can be no doubt. The
rientsin massacre of 1870 might have
been quadrupled in atrocity but for a
time y rain, which deferred the row.

Element. A portable shower would
be one of the most perfect
defences to traveller the hos
tile sections of China could desire.
We are confident that a steady
stream of cold water, delivered from a
two-inch nozzle, would dispense the
NEST violent mob ever seen by for
eigner in China in five minutes of
solar time. Grapeshot would be much
less effectual, for many would stop to
ga her up the spent shot, while cold
water is something for which every
Chinese, from the Han dynasty down.
ward, entertains the same aversion as
does cat. Externally or internally
administered, he regards as alike fatal.
The remote causes of their deep
seated antipathy to wet weather lie
imbedded in the Chinese constitution,
but the proXimate causes, in our view,
are twofold--the porosity of cotton
cloth and the absolute scarcity ofdirt.
10 our readers these reasons will no
doubt appear inadequate, not to say
frivolous; but this, we believe, is be-
cause they have not reflected pro-
foundly on the subject. Why the
Chinese should persit in wearing
cloth shoes we do not pretend to say,
but wear them they certainly do.
Dump feet are not only uncomforta-

Oiled boots are luxuries for the few,

who goes abroad when it rains will do
it in cotton cloth shoes, which will be
ruined. He has no light sandals. He
never washes his feet. Hence it is
easier and more philosophical to stay
at home-which he does.-[ Tienstein

The Labor Question.

When the entrees were reached Mr..
Depew was sounded on the labor
question. "The hour and the man
will arrive" said he, Gin which and
by which this exciting labor question
will be solved. AS the result of my
long observation in the employment
OF a SIN ill army of men, 1 may give
my opinion that the two main ele-
ments of success in life, the two great
anti-poverty influences, are industry
and sobriety. have in mind a record
of the men who started in life with me
nearly fifty years ago. All those who
were sober and economical own their
own homes and are happy and indie
pendent citizens. Those who drank
and lacked industry are dead or dead
broke. One-tenth of the labor en-
ployed in this country is employed by
the railroads. The. corporations do
not gobble the entire gross receipts as
some labor agitators try to make
people believe. The receipts of the
New York Central this year will be
$34 ,OO0, 900. OF this sum $12 900, 900
will go for wages, 5000 900 for taxes,
81 900, 900 for repairs and supplies,
and the balance will be divided
among the stockholders. - New

The first elephant which charged
me was the most vicious beast / ever

him severely one moonlight night as
he stood drinking at pool with five
or six others. They all went off with
a rush, and L supposed that my shot
had failed. About 10 o'clock next
forenoon, as l was beating piece of
forest fully four miles from the pond,
with my boy Joe carrying an extra
gun, the wounded elephant suddenly
charged us up hillside. He was not

had been so we'll hidden that
we had not suspected his pres

But for this he would have had us.

It was large one, with branches

one gun up and were not above fifteen
feet from the ground when the ele-
plant reached the spot. He was in a
terrible rage. His first move was to
break off every branch he could reach
and we were not safe until we were
twenty-five feet above him. He was
not over three minutes stripping off
the branches, and he did not cease
his trumpeting for second.
The tree was fifty feet high and
eighteen inches through the trunk.

trunk, got good brace with his feet,

monster been free of wound he would
have pulled it over. AS it was, he
started some of the roots when he
sapged back with his full weight. He
made four or five heavy pulls before
he gave up, ane then he tried another
plan. He was quite at liberty to work
any way he desired, as 1 had car

working to get it clear. The old

rods, then came for the tree head

shock nearly spilled us out. He tried
it twice more, and then gave it up.
